Recently, I am trying to build up a model involving resolving some
time delay problem like the follow (for a simple example):
NDSolve[{x[t] == t, y[t] == x[t + 2], x[0] == 0}, {x, y}, {t, 1, 2}]
For this one, anybody can easily figure out the solution even at first
glance, but Mathematica replies me with
NDSolve::ndinnt: "Initial condition Automatic[1.] is not a number or a
rectangular \
array of numbers".
Could anybody give me a help?
Merci beaucoup!
